SIT is proud to bring back our popular Zero Fees English Scholarship for international students.

Under the scholarship, students must provide an upfront payment of the tuition fee (bond) for the introductory English language programme. If students meet the English entry requirements and are accepted into a mainstream programme of at least one year full-time duration, the upfront bond (tuition fee) payment will be credited against the tuition fees for that mainstream programme where they have received a Conditional Offer of Place. Students are required to pay the remaining tuition fee balance and any applicable resource fee for the mainstream programme.

Students who have not met the English entry requirement for their chosen mainstream programme can apply in writing to SIT to hold their bond for up to a year, to enable them more time to enrol in their mainstream programme. The bond can only be applied to the chosen mainstream programme which they have received a Conditional Offer of Place.
